My groups been enjoying pixelmon lately

Makes sense, thanks for the response! It is kind of fun to have a mix of the higher level (like R/Scilab) and lower level (which I used Fortran for mine).

Not an aerospace engineer but just a big fan of space/spaceflight. They do do this. Just about every manned spacecraft with a docking port has the part where astronauts come out at the tippy top (look at apollo, soyuz, shenzou, gaganyaan, dreamliner, dragon). They just wrap it up for launch with something that can protect them on the way up.

I’m curious why you chose R as an alternative to Matlab instead of Scilab. Scilab is specifically designed to be a free and open source alternative to Matlab.

For my thesis I was writing some test software and when deciding which language to use Matlab was immediately ruled out due to the cost (and also the extra cost for the toolkits I’d need). I instead went with Scilab which now means that anybody wanting to reproduce my results can do so freely.

The change here hasn’t been that bad other than half of the user base literally shitting themselves if you mention ads or windows. It’s also sad missing out on some smaller communities that don’t exist here yet and the amount of content, but it’s nice at the same time because I waste less time scrolling through.

If it’s less than a 20 hour drive I’m not flying

All fun and games until tower gives you a number to call.

I think the four small countries inside would each only have 2 neighbours. So you could take 2 that are diagonal and make them the same colour.

If you always say left before right you can remember that port and starboard is the same order. I’ll say to myself in my head “left right, port starboard” whenever I need to remind myself.

Also removable batteries gone
